Description
A delightful festive cake with the freshness of cranberries and the nutty flavor of almonds.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup fresh cranberries
- ½ cup sliced almonds
- ¼ cup almond milk
- ½ teaspoon almond extract
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan.
-
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
-
In a separate large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
-
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add vanilla and almond extract.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with almond milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Stir in sour cream.
-
Gently fold in the fresh cranberries and half of the sliced almonds.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top. Sprinkle remaining sliced almonds over the batter. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar.
Notes
- Consistency: Ensure the butter is at room temperature for the best creaming consistency.
- Optional Additions: For extra flavor, consider sprinkling cinnamon into the batter or adding a glaze of melted white chocolate over the top.
- Storage: Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
